In the further definitions of symbols in the formula hereof and terms where they apply elsewhere throughout the specification and the claims, the terms have the following significance.

The term "alkyl" as used herein unless otherwise specified includes straight and branched chain radicals of up to 12 carbons inclusive and is exemplified by such groups as methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, sec. butyl, tert. butyl, amyl, isoamyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl, decyl, lauryl and the like and is intended to include methylene chains and branched methylene chains when appropriate under the definitions in the formulas. Loweralkyl radicals have 1-8 carbon atoms. The term loweralkoxy as used herein refers to a --O--loweralkyl group wherein loweralkyl is defined above.

The term "tertiary carbon atom" as used herein refers to a carbon atom attached directly to three other carbon atoms.

The term "cycloalkyl" as used herein includes cyclic alkyl radicals containing 3-9 carbon atoms inclusive and includes such groups as cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, methylcyclohexyl, cycloheptyl and the like.

The terms "halo" or "halogen" when referred to herein include, fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine unless otherwise stated.

Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of the present invention generally form when A is an aryl group having a heterocyclic nitrogen radical or A contains a basic nitrogen component and include salts of either strong or weak acids. Representative of strong acids are hydrochloric, sulfuric and phosphoric acids. Representative of weak acids are fumaric, maleic, succinic, oxalic, citric, tartaric, hexamic and the like.

By "sucrose core or skeleton" in the definition of A is meant: ##STR10##

A "fructose or other carbohydrate core or skeleton" will readily be perceived by one skilled in the art in reference to the above definition of sucrose core or other carbohydrate skeleton. In utilization of these cores or skeletons for the invention, available or open bonds indicated by dashes of the cores or skeleton are attached to or substituted by at least one aminosulfonyloxy group and may be completely substituted by aminosulfonyloxy groups. In the instance of incomplete substitution the bonds are attached to the original hydroxy groups of the carbohydrate.

Elaborating further on the use of the term "wherein A (or A¹) is substituted on one or more carbon atoms by an aminosulfonyloxy radical", the aminosulfonyloxy radical represented by --OS(O)₂ NR¹ R² may be located singly or multiply on aryl (or other cyclic) or alkyl moieties at any site on one or more carbon atoms capable of being hydroxylated and for example in the instance of phenyl moiety up to 5 such aminosulfonyloxy radicals may be present, thereby wholly or partially superseding the values given in the definition for X, Y and W. In the instance wherein A or A¹ contain moieties of such as both aryl (or other cyclics) and alkyl, at least one aminosulfonyloxy radical is present on the alkyl moiety.

The term "chronic arthritis" as used herein is meant to include chronic inflammatory arthritic conditions appearing either singularly or in combination. Exemplary of the group but not meant to be limiting are the following arthritic conditions: osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, acromegalic arthritis, bacterial arthritis, gonococcal arthritis, chronic inflammatory arthritis, exudative arthritis, palindromic arthritis, and viral arthritis.

The term "osteoporosis" as used herein refers to conditions in which deossification, or rarefraction of bone occurs. The condition is marked by an absolute decrease in bone tissue, resulting in enlargement of marrow and havian spaces, decreased thickness of cortex trabeculea, and structural weakness. Exemplary of the group of osteoporotic conditions but not meant to be limiting are the following: neurogenic osteoporosis, osteoporosis circumscripta cranii, senile osteoporosis, osteoporosis of disuse, postmenopausal osteoporosis, and post-traumatic osteoporosis.

The term "aprotic solvent" as used herein refers to polar solvents of moderately high dielectric constants, which do not contain acidic hydrogen such as dimethylsulfoxide, N,N'-dimethyformamide, p-dioxane and the like.

The term "tertiary amine base" as used herein refers to pyridine, trimethyamine, triethylamine, tri-n-propylamine and the like.

By the term "optical isomers" as used herein is meant isomers of compounds of Formula I or Ia which may exist when chiral centers are present in the compounds of Formula I or Ia. These chiral centers when present must be on the "A" moiety of the Formula I compound or the "A¹ " moiety of the Formula Ia compound. It should be noted that whenever any chiral centers exist in the compounds of Formula I or Ia there is potential for the separation of optical isomers, otherwise known as enantiomers. Exemplary of the methods utilized for the separation of optical isomers of compounds of Formula I or Formula Ia, is the use of column chromatography wherein the column has an appropriate chiral stationary phase. An additional method which may be employed is the use of optically active acids or bases to resolve the enantiomers in successive recrystallizations of the diastereomeric salts. It is also noted that compounds of Formula I and Ia which have chiral centers may be prepared by chiral synthesis methods, if so desired, when the same are applicable to the preparation of a particular optical isomer of a Formula I or Formula Ia compound.

Compounds of Formula I are prepared by Methods I, II and III following:

Method I

The process of Method I is represented by the following general equation: ##STR11## wherein values for A² include those in the definition for A of Formula I with the proviso that A² may additionally carry protected carboxy, protected amino or protected hydroxy, groups and a further proviso alternative is that aryl may be a group outside the definition of A carrying non-interfering radicals. Compounds prepared under the latter proviso wherein A² is aryl are useful as reagents in Method II.

R¹ =hydrogen or loweralkyl,

R² =hydrogen, loweralkyl or --C(O)OR³,

R³ =loweralkyl, or phenylloweralkyl,

n=p+z

p=number of unreacted hydroxyl groups including zero,

z=number of sulfamate esterified hydroxy groups.

Protected carboxy groups are represented by benzyloxycarbonyl and trichlorethyloxycarbonyl,

Protected amino groups are represented by benzyloxycarbonylamino and trichloroethyloxy carbonyl amino,

Protected hydroxy groups are represented by benzyloxycarbonyloxy or trichloroethyloxycarbonyloxy.

Protected carboxy groups, protected amino groups or protected hydroxy groups are deprotected by hydrogenolysis in the instance of benzyloxy carbonyl radicals and deprotected by treating with zinc/acetic acid in the instance of trichloroethyloxycarbonyl radicals.

Generally in Method I, the reaction is carried out in a non-reactive aprotic organic solvent suitably methylene chloride or acetonitrile at temperatures over a range of 0°-100° C. In some instances a non-interfering tertiary organic base such as triethylamine, pyridine or diisopropylethylamine is beneficially added to absorb the hydrochloric acid which is liberated. Products are isolated by various conventional means as illustrated in the examples.

Method I in conjunction with known protection group chemistry can be used to prepare certain types of Formula I compounds as illustrated in Chart I and Example 50. ##STR12##

Method II--General

Method II is represented by the following equation: ##STR13## wherein Ar is an aryl group carrying non-interfering radicals and may be an aryl group outside the definition of A or A² ;

wherein values for A² include those in the definition for A of Formula I with the proviso that when A² is aryl protected carboxy, protected amino or protected hydroxy groups are substituted for carboxy, amino or hydroxy, said protected hydroxy being excluded from (OH)_(n), i.e., when p=O, n=z.

R¹ =hydrogen or loweralkyl,

R² =hydrogen, loweralkyl or -C(O)OR³,

R³ =loweralkyl, or phenyloweralkyl,

n=p+z

p=number of unreacted hydroxyl groups including zero,

z=number of sulfamate esterified hydroxy groups.

Protected carboxy groups are represented by benzyloxycarbonyl and trichlorethyloxycarbonyl.

Protected amino groups are represented by benzyloxycarbonylamino and trichloroethyloxy carbonyl amino.

Protected hydroxy groups are represented by benzyloxycarbonyloxy or trichloroethyloxycarbonyloxy.

Protected carboxy groups, protected amino groups or protected hydroxy groups are deprotected by hydrogenolysis in the instance of benzyloxycarbonyl radicals and deprotected by treating with zinc/acetic acid in the instance of trichloroethyloxycarbonyl radicals.

Method II, hereinabove outlined, represents a novel process for synthesizing Formula I compounds and is described more fully as follows: In an organic solvent system consisting of a non-reactive aprotic solvent containing from about 1 to about 20% of a tertiary organic base, and preferably at least 5% of said tertiary organic base, there are reacted at a temperature of from about 50° to 200° C. and preferably at about 90° to 140° C., a reagent sulfamic acid aryl ester and a hydroxy substituted A² radical wherein A² is defined as A under Formula I above, except that A² may not be aryl substituted by unprotected carboxy or unprotected amino, and A² may additionally be substituted by a protected hydroxy, but wherein said protected hydroxy is excluded from (OH)n in the equations above. If A² is substituted by protected amino, protected carboxy or protected hydroxy, then the protected groups are deprotected subsequent to the transfer of the aminosulfonyloxy radical from the sulfamic acid aryl ester reactant, thus giving the desired formula I compound. In addition to forming the desired Formula I compound in the reaction there is also formed a hydroxy substituted aryl by-product in the reaction. After the desired Formula I compound is formed in the reaction it is extracted from the reaction mixture by partitioning between an organic and aqueous layer and recrystallization by methods commonly known in the art to give a Formula I compound as a free base. A pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the free base may be obtained by reacting with a pharmaceutically acceptable acid in conventional manner. As an example of the reaction, there is included herein Example 52, which may be considered to typify the reaction, but which it should be understood is not intended to limit the broadness of the disclosure of the parameters given herein for the reaction method, or to limit the number of Formula I compounds for which the method is applicable.

This novel method for preparing Formula I compounds, labeled as Method II reaction above, may also be referred to as the transfer reaction herein, in as much as the sulfamic acid ester group originally present on the sulfamic acid aryl ester reactant may be considered to be transferred to the hydroxy substituted A² radical, and the hydroxy substituent on the A² radical may be considered to be transferred to the aryl radical of the previous sulfamic acid ester group. The aryl group contained on the initial sulfamic acid aryl ester may be selected from aryl as defined under Formula I or from aryl other than that as defined under Formula I, to the extent that the selected aryl substituent is not to be substituted by a radical which would interfere with the transfer of the aminosulfonyloxy radical from the sulfamic acid aryl ester group to the hydroxy substituted A² reactant. It should be noted that if the aryl substituent of the sulfamic acid aryl ester is the same as the A² substituent of the hydroxy substituted A² reactant, then the net effect of the reaction would be zero since the products of the reaction would be equivalent to the reactants, therefore the aryl radical of the sulfamic acid aryl ester should never be identical to the A² radical of the hydroxy substituted A² reactant in this method. It should also be understood that this method may be compound if the Formula I compound utilized in the preparation of the second Formula I compound has an aryl A substituent with no interfering radicals substituted thereon, such as hydroxy, amino, carboxy and the like.

Method III--General

Certain compounds of Formula I and reagents for use in Method II may also be prepared by reaction represented by the following equation: ##STR14##

Generally in Method III, the reaction is carried out in a non-reactive aprotic solvent, suitably toluene, chlorobenzene or acetonitrile at temperatures over a range of 80°-150° C.

PHARMACOLOGY Chronic Arthritis Test Procedure

The test utilized to evidence antiarthritic properties of the compounds of Formula I is an adjuvant-induced arthritis test model in rats. Adjuvant arthritis was induced in adult, female Lewis rats as described by Walz et al. J. Pharmac. Exp. Ther. 178:223-231 (1971). Briefly, arthritis was induced in the rats by injection of 0.05 ml of a 1.5% suspension of killed Mycobacterium Butyricum into the right rear foot pad of each rat. Eighteen days later, those rats having a left hind paw volume (measured by mercury displacement up to a reference tatoo mark placed on the leg on Day 0) of 2.4 ml or greater were randomly assigned to treatment groups. The test, reference and control articles (as solutions or suspensions in 0.5% Tween 80) were given by gavage, beginning on Day 18 after adjuvant administration and for 5 days a week (Monday through Friday) through Day 49. Paw volumes were recorded on days 18, 29 and 50 after adjuvant injection. On Day 50, the rats were killed (carbon dioxide) and the uninjected hind limb was x-rayed and scored for bone damage on an arbitrary 1 (no damage) to 10 (maximum damage) scale.

Data collected for hind paw volumes and bone damage were analyzed by the Dunnett's t-test [Dunnett, C. W., J. Amer. Stat. Assoc., 50:1096-1121 (1955)], comparing a positive control group with several treated groups.

The compound of Example 3, one of the more active compounds of Formula I, showed bone damage scores of 5.4-5.9 over the dosage range of 1 mg/kg to 100 mg/kg compared to the controls which scored 8 to 9. The reduction in bone damage is considered to be significant. Reduction in paw edema in this dosage range was from 0.41 ml to 0.94 ml and was considered to be significant.

OSTEOPOROSIS

In order to determine the effectiveness of Formula I compounds in the treatment and/or prevention of osteoporosis in mammalian species an in vitro experimental procedure was utilized to measure bone resorption. The procedure utilized was as follows.

Bone resorption in vitro was measured essentially as outlined by Hall and Kenny (Pharmacology 30:339-347, 1985), except however, seventeen (17) dayold chick embryo calvaria were utilized instead of mice calvaria. Resorption is defined as the amount of calcium (mg/ml) in the medium of vehicle-treated cultures. The effects of the Formula I test compounds were determined by monitoring the effect on calcium concentrations in presence of drug relative to control calcium concentrations at a particular PTH (parathyroid hormone) concentration. The % inhibition of resorption induced by parathyroid hormone by Formula I compounds was calculated as follows: ##EQU1## where Ca (PTH)=Ca (PTH)-Ca (Vehicle medium), and

Ca (PTH+Formula I compound)=Ca (PTH+Formula I compound)-Ca (Vehicle medium)

The following results contained in Table II were obtained in the above testing procedure for one of the preferred compounds of the present invention, i.e., Example No. 3, such results being representative of effectiveness in the treatment and/or prevention of osteoporosis.

Pharmaceutical Compositions

The invention further provides pharmaceutical compositions for administration to a living animal body comprising, as active ingredients, at least one of the compounds according to the invention in association with a pharmaceutical carrier or excipient. The compounds are thus presented in a therapeutic composition suitable for oral, rectal or parenteral administration. Thus, for example, compositions for oral administration are preferably solids and can take the form of capsules, tablets or coated tablets containing carriers conveniently used in the pharmaceutical art. Suitable tableting carriers or excipients include lactose, potato and maize starches, talc, gelatin and stearic and silicic acids, magnesium stearate and polyvinyl pyrrolidone.

For parenteral administration, the carrier or excipient can be a sterile, parenterally acceptable liquid, e.g., water, or a parenterally acceptable oil; e.g., arachis oil, contained in ampoules.

In compositions for rectal administration the carrier can comprise a suppository base, e.g., cocoa butter, or a glyceride.

Advantageously, the compositions are formulated as dosage units, each unit being adapted to supply a fixed dose of active ingredients. Tablets, coated tablets, capsules, ampoules and suppositories are examples of preferred dosage forms according to the invention. It is only necessary that the active ingredient constitute an effective amount; i.e., such that a suitable effective dosage will be obtained consistent with the dosage form employed. The exact individual dosages, as well as daily dosages, will, of course, be determined according to standard medical principles under the direction of a physician or veterinarian. Generally the oral effective dose to either prevent or treat chronic arthritic conditions, would consist of unit dosages containing an amount of compound equivalent to about 1 to about 20 mg/kg of body weight and thus are contemplated. Based on all of the above considerations, a choice in a range of unit oral dosages for humans of about 10 to about 1000 mg is contemplated, preferably about 10 to 600 mg. Daily dosages of about 30 to 2400 mg are contemplated for humans and obviously several unit dosage forms may be administered at about the same time. However, the scope of the invention is not to be limited by these contemplations due to the uncertainty in transpositions discussed above.

Examples of unit dosage compositions are as follows:
